Announcements:
I apologize again for not announcing these sooner! I have had the worst internet problems. Let’s cross our fingers they have fixed it this time!
June “I Clicked it Up a Notch” photography contest winner. I have to say this was a tough one this month! So many amazing photos! This was also our closest month as far as votes go!! Congrats to everyone!! The winner is Christina @ Random Mutterings!! Congrats!!
Be sure to grab the button Christina!!
Top 5 Quarterly Link up winner!
I have loved looking at everyone’s entries so far! Unfortunately, with all the internet issues I haven’t had a chance to see everyones. But I’m planning on viewing and commenting on them all this weekend. I also haven’t had a chance to display my favorites. I’m sorry!! Hopefully next go around my internet doesn’t suck! I did want to announce the winner of the random drawing for the Wild Olive Tees gift card of $25. Congrats to Ashley @ Ramblings and Photos! Shoot me an email and I’ll get you all the info. To find out about the other two prizes head over to Amber’s Articles and Naptime Momtog. Unfortunately, we didn’t reach 100 so we will hold onto the Blurb book for next time.
Winner of the Clickin’ Moms Lifetime membership giveaway. I LOVED reading all of your photography goals! I will try and be sure to write posts to help you achieve those goals. The winner was picked randomly. Congrats to Emily! I will send your info off to CM and they will contact you.
Now, time for the I Learned link up.
I learned that it using the clone tool in Lightroom can help take out distractions but it can also take you FOREVER since it is a circle!!

Now it’s your turn. What did you learn this week?? You know the old saying “You learn something new everyday!” Take pictures of it and share with us!! Some weeks you may learn a photography skill and want critiques. GREAT!! Share and ask for them! If you didn’t learn a new photography skill but something about yourself or life, that is great too! Post a picture and tell us what you learned. Can’t wait to see your pictures and find out what you learned!!
As always
1. Post one photo and tell us what you learned.
2. Link your permalink, not your blog address, check out the I Learned Tab if you need help with this.
3. Attach our button to your post
4. Ask for critiques if you want them and post your settings
5. Leave a comment on 5 other posts
6. Open Thursday 8am – Sunday 8am (Japan time) or Wednesday 6pm – Saturday 6pm (EST)
Awww, Sweet photos of your girls.
Such a cute picture and I really like the conversion. My only critique is you can kinda see the smudge where you cloned out the lamp. Love the perspective of the picture! i don’t know why the thumbnail to my link up isn’t working??
never mind, it’s working now.
Thanks Janell!! Honestly, I didn’t even notice it until you pointed it out!! Thank you!!!
Hehe, Christina’s pic was just too cute! And love your b/w conversion! Beautiful! (and yes, cloning is both a blessing and a burden, hehe)
Thanks! That is a PERFECT way of putting it “blessing and a burden” FOR SURE!!! :O)
I won the Wild Olive Trees gift certificate? REally? I didn’t see my name at first (I looked at the random.org thingie) but I’m glad Amber emailed me. I’m so excited. I didn’t see your email so hopefully you can contact me this way. YAY!
Congrats!! Just sent you an email! Sorry you didn’t see that you had won :O)
Great shot in B&W. Love the perspective and how large the couch is compared to your girls. I didn’t notice the smudge until it was pointed out.
